This Atlas, No. 7 in the CalCOFI series, contains the second and final part dealing with the distribution of calanoid copepods in the California Current region (Chart 1) during CalCOFI Cruises 5804, 5807, 5810 and 5901. The area surveyed by the four cruises is roughly outlined by the latitudes 20°N and 40°N, and by longitude 13OoW and the Pacific coastline of North America. Part I (Fleminger, 1964) appears in CalCOFI Atlas No. 2, which also contains descriptive accounts of planktoncollecting methods of the CalCOFI Program; procedures used in enumerating calanoid copepods in this study and charted distributions for 92 of the species that were found.
Distributionof the remaining 84 species of Calanoida are shown in the present Atlas. A combined list of calanoid species whose distributions appear in Parts I and 11 is given in Table I. Descriptive faunal, biogeographical and quantitative notes on these species are summarized in the paragraphs that follow. A total of 176 species, belonging to 57 genera, 21 families (Table I), was found in the 154 samples selected for examination. Most of these species occur regularly within the epiplanktonic layer and, in fact, above the thermocline for at least a portion of each 24-hour cycle.
